Former Christadelphian Sites

Branson Hopkins, a former Christadelphian has authored three easily readable books. “Unmasking Christadelphianism – The Hopelessness of the Hope” looks at some of the history of the movement and its theological difficulties. “From Christadelphianism to Christ” is an account of his personal journey. The final book, “The Rise of the Cults,” looks in depth at the cultural background of the emergence of the movement and how the period resulted in the start of many other new religious groups. It also details how the various leaders of these movements were influenced and connected to each other.

This is probably one of the best sites dealing with Biblical exegesis of Christadelphian doctrine. Described as “opening minds to Jesus Christ” this author produces some excellent and very well researched material on his blog, particularly on the topic of the devil. Clearly many of the New Testament authors in particular did believe in a literal supernatural being and demons and to take on the Christadelphian position makes understanding lots of passages extremely complex. Unlike other Christians who do not believe in the devil or demons Christadelphians do not believe it is simply a case of demythologising the text, but believe the New Testament writers themselves conceived of Satan as merely a symbol of evil and not as a personal being.

He also has a website here which contains a lot more additional material.
